I know, But it also means more scraping the speed bumps

I'd rather have some bigger tires than crushing that sought after bumper lip

But I'll figure it out when I have the wheels back under again. More drop should look good with the 19's

I won't go bigger than that. If I use 40 on the front, it will have the stock Diameter.

But I have no idea if 245/40R19 on the front will give rubbing issues

@DvSir: Eventually I will go somewhere near Vip, but I'm keeping it clean

Mounted a different set of wheels last week, I bought these from Lyyca
They are Chrome 19"x9.5 Savini Forged SV-9's, offset somewhere around 40 I think. Wrapped with 245/35R19 Nitto´s. I did lower the car a little extra also

Here are some pictures if you like

Hey Joe!

Right behind me at the moment



..Well, atleast the rears . The fronts are in the garage, including the AME's, the LS430's, IS-F wheels, and 20" Boss wheels ready for my truck

But RB wheels didn't supply me with a ready-to-go set of wheels. one has a bent with a crack in it





Anyway, I will have to get it repaired first, since it will not hold air. And after all I want them mint, so the inner barrel will be powder coated. Maybe have the painted section redone. And both front center caps need some work.

I had better bought those Duchatelet's over in the classifieds section. Because these from RB will end up much more expensive I have PM'ed him a while ago, but it seems he's gone

I'm also working on a front brake upgrade, Not that I'm in much need of more stopping power (cruising ). But since the brakes will need work soon, I might as well upgrade them. So I got these 4-pot Supra TT front brakes from Lextreme, including new rotors and pads. It was a good deal I think.



I'm going to have the calippers repainted, maybe same colour as my car. Or just glossy black

BTW, that guy with the parts Lexus forgot I wanted the front spoiler But he's at it again. I will try to make an appointment with him as soon as possible. might want to take the rear center console too if it's in decent shape.

If that's true, I will not mount the 4 piston Supra TT's.

But these wald's are high disk as far as I know. Or are you referring to the Savini's?

9.5+40...that might clear.

ouch to hear about the bent/cracked wheel..but doesnt seem that bad though, it can be bent back and welded shut.

i wouldnt mind taking your LS430 wheeels ...too bad ur so far away.

Getting those LS430's to your location will cost a fortune

But I'd rather keep them for winter beating, allthough my car is a garage queen

They will most certainly clear the Supra brakes, LS430 wheels clear a lot of space

Not sure about the Savini's though, it will be a very tight fit then
